Q.) I am a meat inspector and I do inspection for different
processing plants in Toronto. I was also asked to go and do inspection in a 100% pork
plant where only Pork is cut and processed. As a Muslim can I do this? Please enlighten
and guide me the correct way. Jazakallah [Shakeel Hamid]

A.) If the Plant itself is designed exclusively for pork production it
is not permissible for you to render any service to that Plant. But if the plant can
be used for pork products as well as for other meat products, then, merely rendering the
service to that plant is not haram. But still it is desirable to avoid it if it is
known that it is being used 100% for pork products. This is about inspection of the
plant but if the inspection is for the pork products then it is not allowed in any way.
